No, not the Olympics, we’re talking football. Goal line stands. One-hand catches. Last second touchdowns.
College spring practices and intersquad performances are finished. The preseason NFL (National Football League) games are finally over. It’s good to get back to contests that matter.
Although I spend more time watching games than I would like to admit, I spend even more time helping to heal the pain and suffering of others. Therefore, it caught my attention last season when Dallas Cowboys' safety, Gerald Sensabaugh was quoted as saying, "Pain is just mental."]]>https://blog.chron.com/healingnow/2012/09/dallas-cowboy-says-%e2%80%9cpain-is-just-mental%e2%80%9d/feed/21966Is pain just mental?https://blog.chron.com/healingnow/2012/01/%e2%80%9cpain-is-just-mental%e2%80%9d-says-dallas-cowboy/

"I've dealt with all kinds of illness without medication. I remember one time I had the flu real bad and didn't take anything. Pain is just mental. If I know it's nothing structural, I should be able to ride through it.''
"That's how I was growing up, that's how I've raised my kids,'' Sensabaugh said. "If you fall and bust your head, get up and play. It's not that bad. Usually they get up laughing.''
Pain is a real battle for many people. However, there are those like Sensabaugh who have found that how they think controls how they feel. Studies at Stanford University's Neuroscience and Pain Lab show that redirecting one’s focus can lead to over 40 percent less of an awareness of pain.]]>https://blog.chron.com/healingnow/2012/01/%e2%80%9cpain-is-just-mental%e2%80%9d-says-dallas-cowboy/feed/381440
